We have worked really hard over the past 18 months and will also be celebrating 125 years this year. No busy rehearsal schedules. Based near Mansfield and about 10 minutes from J29 on M1.
Can you help give me a call - 0116 2354672:clap:

Well done to all of you.
I remember watching Pleasley Band competing at the Nottingham Open Contest in the top section many years ago (1964??)
I think they were conducted by David and Brian Eggleshaws Dad.
Nice to see a good old band name making a return.

What fantastic news! :clap::clap::clap:

It's always good to hear that a band has managed to get themselves back on track after hard times such as this. Very encouraging stuff!!!!

Just like to agree with all the other posts.I had many a happy year at pleasley.also some massive hangovers .Great memories at Blackpool at the miners contest and skegess miners camp.Good to see em back.

Pleasley Band are pleased to annouce the signings of 6 players which includes 3 percussionists, 2 back row cornets and John Yarker on prinicpal euphonium, who has transfered from Carlton. We are also waiting on a decision from soprano player due to our own getting a new job and not being able to have the time off.

However we are still short on the bass section and 1 front row and 1 back row. If anyone is interested please get in touch asap.

Good luck on your quest! Chapel band was reformed just over 3yrs ago with only six players, now we have a full band. It takes time, patience and being at the right place al the right time! Well done on your regeneration.
